Microsoft Surface - Amazing multi-touch computing interface 👐 Web AddiCT 🇿🇦

I remember seeing a presentation on TED, a while back, from Jeff Han, unveiling the awesome multi-touch interface. And I remember thinking, wow! That sh*t is amazing. Ah, but alas, it will probably take forever to hit the consumer market.

Looks like I was wrong. I found today on Read/Write Web, Microsoft just announced it’s new multi-touch computing product, called Surface.

And by the looks of the video clips on Microsoft’s Surface Website, it’s going to be brilliant.

Now bring on the competitors, so I can afford it 🙂

Update: Found a link to Gizmodo that interviews Bill Gates where he shows off Surface. Neato.

Microsoft Surface … intuitive touch computing

I came across a mention of Microsoft Surface on Web AddICT(s). At first I thought it was a parody of something Microsoft has done or is trying to do until I saw the video. Take a look at this:

It is being referred to as a surface computing platform….

Oh awesome stuff man. I’ve had a look at how to do it yourself a while back, and thought it would be a cool project to work on. However, I wasn’t happy with the OS software that was available for multi-touch. I’d be spending a lot of time, effort and money to build the hardware, but then I’d be stuck using a regular OS, meaning I couldn’t even use the multi-touch aspect to a fraction of it’s potential.
How is a open source software for multi-touch looking at the moment? I haven’t checked recently

Yeah, that’s true OS integration is still a working project. We have a guy working on a shell for Vista, but otherwise not really anyone integrating it with the OS. We are, however, working on a lot of frameworks to make your own programs that utilize multi-touch.
